Also WB Games attached a press release:
"Today, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios are unleashing an all-new trailer for the highly-anticipated video game Mortal Kombat releasing in 2011 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The rocking trailer features several classic Mortal Kombat fighters hidden in the shadows preparing for their next vicious attack. Even in the darkness, players will recognize the blue blaze of Raiden’s electricity and the iconic spear attack of Scorpion. You’ll find these kombatants are just as brutal, if not more, under the veil of darkness.
The new Mortal Kombat trailer’s soundtrack is provided by the single “Another Way to Die” from the new album Asylum from hard rock band Disturbed. Asylum is the fifth studio effort from the multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated hard rock band and is available everywhere now.

"With the announcement of a brand new Mortal Kombat coming to the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2011, the newest chapter of the iconic fighting game franchise marks a triumphant return to the series’ mature presentation and a reinvention of its classic 2D fighting mechanic combined with the latest technology to up the gore factor a few notches. Today, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios are unveiling two new characters who will join the fight in the upcoming Mortal Kombat – Cyrax and Kitana.
Cyrax, the robotic ninja warrior returns to the fray just as deadly as ever. Kitana, is back as well, always ready to stand in opposition to her evil clone Mileena and her fiendish ways. New screenshots of both Cyrax and Kitana in action are now available for publishing to your readers. In addition, two new environments in the game are also being revealed – The Desert and Bell Tower. Both levels will prove to be dramatic backdrops to the many punches, kicks, slices and fatalities that gamers will seek to execute in the new Mortal Kombat."
--------------------------------------------------
This isn't really big news, but I was able to locate a higher-res version of the Mortal Kombat dragon logo and JPG versions of the E3 Mortal Kombat "Finish Him" "Fatality" banners. The only catch is that WB has watermarked them with "CONFIDENTIAL" watermarks. Hopefully they will remove these at a later date.

Fighting mode is extremly smooth running the Unreal Engine at 60fps! The backgrounds you all know and are from MK1-MK3. The music played in The Living Forest was the original music from MK2 I don't know if this will stay this way but I hope so!
Renders are extremly high resolution and detailed like you wouldnt believe just looking at them is pure eye-candy!
X-Ray mode is brutal and scary when it zooms in and shows someone organs being pounded and point-blank range with those horrible screams is done so well. Each character has there own "Skully" (Hectors Words) so when you pound say Sektor for example, he looks all robotic inside!
Today I will be getting hands on with the game and Interviewing Ed Boon and Hopefully Hector Sanchez and I will try to interview Steve Beran as well.
I am aware that some websites have posted images and videos and it really pisses me off that I can't show you guys the images I have, they are great quality and look awesome!
I will ask agian today but Warner Bros. are being extremly hard-headed with images and videos. If I was to post the images they would most likly close the door on TMK to exclusives so I have to play it there way.
I can't show you any video or pictures! Warner Brother have put the lockdown on media that includes pictures AND video of the new Mortal Kombat in action. The game is AMAZING It's NOT FAIR that I can't show you guys how awesome it is, seriously. This looks like the highest quality Mortal Kombat game we have seen. At E3 they show off all the Fighting modes including tag and then they end the show with a fatality demo real, we see about 6-8 fatalities, including Kung Laos,Sektors,Mileenas,JOhnny Cages,Reptiles... Warner Have said that TMK and brother website Kamidogu will get EXCLUSIVE hands on play tommorrow. WB are not offering this to many people but Im still not allowed to film or take pitures. Sorry guys. I will also be interviewing Hector Sanchez and Ed Boon and I will also try toi internew Stever Beran, Brain Lebaron and John Edwards.
Check out the few pics I snapoed below of the booth and banners for MORTAL KOMBAT!!
Gametrailers have posted a sneak peak video showing some of the booth designs for this years E3 Expo. Among them was Warner Brothers booth design for Mortal Kombat. The picture clearly shows it as a theatre, does this mean MK9 will not be playable? Hard to say. But either way TMK will bring you the latest from the show floor. Check out the picture below.

OH MY GOD
FINALY IT HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED AND FUCK ME IT LOOKS GOOD. FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNEW ABOUT MK GUYS BECAUSE THE GAMEPLAY MECHANIC HAS HAD A MASSIVE OVERHAUL AND LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO TAKE A GIANT SHIT ON TEKKEN AND STREET FIGHTER AND THATS WHAT I LIKE BABY CAUSE ITS ALLL ABOUT MORTAL KOMBAT!
OK I know that was a bit of a nerd out moment but holy shit this trailer is EPIC I can't wait to get my hands on this thing! This will certainly bring lost MK players back to the table all I can say is well done to Warner Brothers who are now officialy called Netherealm Stduios, and thanks to the MK Team! Check out the trailer and images below!!
Firstly I would like to apologize for the delay with this update. First off I got the news while I was at work and couldn't do anything about it, secondly when I got home for some reason the TMK webhost blacklisted my IP address for my ISP at home which ment I couldnt access the TMK website,FTP or email. It was just now fixed.>
So a video apeared on YouTube called Mortal Kombat: Rebirth this video doesn't mess around the production quality is that of a movie trailer, the effect don't look cheap and ontop of that it's badass and violent showing things like deformed babies and peoples heads being ripped off! WTF!! We have waited for something like this since MK1 fueled our thirst for bloodlust. Alot of people thought this may of been the trailer for MK9 and the timing is perfect to start a shit-stir (which it has) apparently according to TRMK.org who has done all the homework regarding the video it was made as a promo clip to show to Warner Brothers to say "hey we can make an MK movie and we can make it with fucking BALLS" all MK fans and gamers admit this project if it were to come true would be a dream come true. Check out the video below, also check out trmk.orgs news post about it to read all the gritty details!
This is quite interesting. It apears that the new "WB Games Chicago" may be chaging there name to Netherealm Studios! I guess I should agian give credit to TRMK.org who have been following this story closely for a long time.
In the 3rd of April TRMK.org posted an image they found from WBGamesJobs.com website. It has a logo for each WB studio. The MK one just had a dragon with no name (below):

NETHEREALM STUDIOS
Thanks agian to TRMK.org who followed this stroy so closly!
Well I guess this makes it 100% official now! Warner Brothers have fully registered the Mortal Kombat trademark and that pretty much covers everything from Games,Comics,Clothes,Bags,Shoes even Lingerie! Pretty much anything you can think of. Hopfully this will mean some mass whoring of the MK trademark. and By that I expect some MK t-shirts just like back in the 90's. Fingers crossed!
Special thank to TRMK.org who broke this story first!
Shocking news came accross my email today, as many of you know it's been about 10 years since we last saw Kung Lao, Siro, Taja, Raiden, Shao Kahn, Vorpax and other treademark MK characters battling it out on our TV screens. After MK Conquest finished the 2nd season it left many people wondering what would happen next. Well it apears our questions will be answered with the return on MK Conquest! Season 3 is said to debut in late 2010 and will see most of the characters returning from seasons 1 and 2. This info is from an unofficial source so exact details are still being worked out, I was told the show would start with an Elder God resurrecting Kung Lao, Taja and Siro and them going through to Outworld to bring Raiden back to Earth realm. Sounds like alot of fun I can't wait!
Yes no jokes this time Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation are now available on Blu-Ray! They are currently available in the Canadian region and can be ordered from http://www.amazon.ca They are basic release with no features but It's great to see the MK movies in HD glory, I got in kontact with Alliance and they were nice enough to give TMK some high-res covers thanks guys!
Wow I come home from work to this shit, it seems that Threshold are not giving up on the MK movie rights and are still battling WB over the rights to the next film...I wish they would leave it alobe already they had there fun with the movie and shouldnt complain WB own the rights now move over and let them do there thing... read the article below.

'Mortal Kombat' Thrown Into Legal Match
Published: February 17, 2010
The "Mortal Kombat" movie franchise is in legal limbo after a breach-of-contract lawsuit was filed against Warner Bros., which reportedly is developing a third film based on the once wildly popular video game.
Threshold Entertainment Inc. filed the action Tuesday in Los Angeles, claiming Warners had shut it out of production of the martial arts movie, in which it owns a licensing interest.
In the early 1990s, Threshold had entered into a partnership with arcade-game developer Midway to develop "Mortal Kombat" into a variety of media, including two feature films.
The lawsuit states that Threshold and Midway entered into an additional contract in 2006 to develop a third "Kombat" movie, including script development and pre-production.
But Midway filed for bankruptcy last February, and Warners successfully bid on its properties. Threshold says a federal bankruptcy court upheld its interests and licenses as a part of the sale.
The lawsuit states that Warners has "failed to work with Threshold in the development and production of the third 'Mortal Kombat' film," and has avoided communication with the Connecticut-based company, which has offices in Santa Monica. In late January, reports surfaced that a "Mortal Kombat" reboot by Warners was under way, including the hiring of a new screenwriter.
Damages are to be ascertained later, the lawsuit states.
A Warner Bros. spokesperson said the studio would not be immediately commenting on the lawsuit.
